With such a focus on diet and fitness in the media during January it can be easy to forget that beautiful bodies come in all shapes and sizes.

To celebrate the glorious diversity of mankind, NOW Toronto magazine has released its second annual Body Issue.

The issue contains nude photos of activists, athletes and performers - and we have to say, they all look fabulous.

"Rather than the usual stories around diets and exercise, we aim to present a truly diverse set of Torontonians who share their stories about their journey to self-love. It's a beautiful project that we all take a lot of pride in."
